So i've been looking for a anniversary present for my girlfriend this weekend, and I discovered that Dog is Dead are playing in Manchester on that day. Not a bad present in my view, lets just be hopeful Amelia thinks the same ey.
Dog is Dead are a five-piece indie-pop band from Nottingham. They are a mash-up of harmonious greatness that mix their simple but catchy melody lines with jazz and indie-pop styles. With all that, they manage to be a gritty, down-to-earth band that you would sit and listen to 24/7, whilst bopping and swaying your head when no ones looking. Their harrowing vocals are something that sucks you in and has you humming them whilst walking round, or maybe thats just me.
Over the past few years, Dog is Dead have have gradually creeped into the music industry, with their funky tunes and quirky style. Tours with Bombay Bicycle Club have managed to highlight them as a band to keep a wandering eye on. I managed to get my hands on free tickets to go to that Bombay gig at Blackpool Empress Ballroom, and felt pretty lucky that I had won them on Xfm. The fact I was seeing Bombay yet again was amazing, but the whole gig was made tons better than I thought it would be, with Dog is Dead supporting. They echoed their atmospheric presence throughout the room, sending ear-pleasing tones to the 4'000 people in attendance. They impressed me that night and are highly recommended by myself and i'm sure many other people.
Charles.
